Baby Namings and Brit Milah – ברית מילה

Who circumcises his son is as though he offered all the sacrifices to God. ~ Zohar

Before a child is born, a light is held behind its head with which it can see from one end of the world to the other, and they teach it the whole of the Torah. But at the moment of birth an angel touches it on the lips, and it forgets all. So all of life is spent remembering what we once knew. ~Based on Talmud, Niddah

The celebration of brit milah (circumcision) and baby namings (for girls) are special occasions that are significant in the life of the child and then entire family. Rabbi Schanerman will provide a beautiful ceremony for these ritual events in the life of a Jewish family.

There is no fee (though a donation to NefeshSoul is requested) for a baby naming that is celebrated during a NefeshSoul Shabbat Service. There is a $200 fee for a baby naming/brit milah that is held off site.
